Kansas Vacation







Our Family finally got a much needed vacation. We went to Derby, Kansas why Kansas you ask - well I'll tell you Sean's mom moved to Derby last summer when she married Ken Keen. We spent five days there with Gail and Ken where we had a great time. It started with a very warm welcome when we came around the corner to see a great sign that made us understand how excited they were to see us.
While we were there we went to the Derby water park, the zoo, a learning museum called Exploration Station where the kids got to do a lot of hands on learning- along with Sean. One night we even went on a double date to dinner and a movie. We had a great time and it was good to be with family.
We got to see Grandad and visit the place where his father was buried, he fought in the Civil War and Grandad loves to tell stories about it, of course we never knew him but it was good to see a piece of history. Conner and Audrey and Sean went one afternoon the the community where he lives and all played BINGO the kids had fun. We got to see downtown Wichita and visit the wonderful statues they have. We also went to the Colman outlet, Sean was pumped.
Gail and Ken showed us all the sights to see and the places to eat when you were in Wichita, we had a great time on our trip.
